[Bitter, Jaded Anon. Job Seeker]

Job seekers: the placement office (which is located in the Westin hotel, a good 10 minute walk from the conference registration desk located on the 4th floor of the Marriott—good thinkin' there!) is basically useless and a waste of your time. Thus far, only two schools—SUNY Cortland and the University of Michigan at Flint—are accepting on-site interview requests. If you aren't interested in either job, you have no reason to go. The line is averaging about 15 minutes wait. Check in tomorrow afternoon perhaps.

DePauw University has checked in with APA placement and will conduct scheduled interviews with all candidates who can make it. Candidates who cannot make it to their scheduled interview should contact us to discuss possible re-scheduling or other options (please use the contact information included in the pre-interview email you received from us).

Weber State University has checked in with placement and will conduct interviews as scheduled. For those with interviews scheduled who are not able to make it to Boston, we will be contacting you to set up Skype or phone interviews shortly. For those who make it to Boston, but are not able to make their scheduled time, contact us to reschedule (we have some available times in the evenings).

University of Houston is here and although we have not yet checked in at the Placement Desk, we have been in touch with all of our interviewees and found that, amazingly enough, all but one of them have made it here. We will reschedule the other person. Some of the planned interviews have had to be switched from today to later in the week.
